relative to registration and road access for low-capacity and low-weight battery-operated vehicles.
Inexpedient to Legislate: MA VV 02/19/2026 HJ 5 P. 36
Summary
The measure creates annual surcharges for battery‑electric cars, plug‑in hybrids and low‑weight battery‑operated vehicles, with fees based on weight and whether the vehicle uses municipal roads or other public roads. Motorized electric vehicles that can go faster than 15 mph must be registered for municipal road use, but any electric vehicle used only off‑road is exempt. Collected fees would go to the state highway fund or directly to a municipality, and the bill requires the DMV to set procedures and report revenue annually.
